DETROIT -- The Mavericks' sole goal in the final few games of the season is to find out who among their young players can really play.
Winning is not a priority. But putting players in difficult situations to see how they respond is.
Give a big, fat check mark to Johnathan Motley on Friday night.
The Baylor product nailed a 3-pointer with 10.1 seconds left to make the score 101-101 against the Detroit Pistons.
The Mavericks would go on to lose 113-106 in overtime, but Motley certainly got the coaching staff's attention - and that of owner Mark Cuban, who popped in to watch the game from behind the Mavericks' bench.
